First, please understand I am far from a pro so keep this in mind. To be certain I can answer as best I can and insure I do not missunderstand can you please explain the USM, USM & B piece? This lens is both auto or manual focus.

you can set it to auto or man its a switch on lens As for as usm its my understanding this is found on high price lens only

I believe that the 75-300mm lens is non-USM. I do not see the letters anywhere on the lens. The neat thing about the lens is that is can be either manual or auto focus. There is so much to this camera, probably too much for my poor brain, that I am taking a camera class to figure out exactly what this thing does. Good Luck.

So now I am wondering just what I am missing with regards to buying this lens for use on a DSLR like the Canon EOS 5D versus the much more expensive "EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM for EOS SLR"???

I spent many months comparing 28-300 and this 24-120 before I settle with this. I was looking for a walk around lenses for travel and family picture because I don't want my f2.8 lenses to take all the fun out of the trip as they are heavy and big. To my surprise, this 24-120 replaced my 24-70 f2.8 except for shooting sports as the AF is not as snappy as the 24-70 f2.8 and I need to shoot more frames to cherry pick the ones that are in focus. Other than sports, my copy of 24-120 f4 has taken over the job of 24-70 f2.8. I used it at weddings and senior pictures...... I am very happy with it. I got it in "brand new white box" for about half the price and that's even a greater deal. I spent many months comparing 28-300 and this 24-120 before I settle with this.

I've been using the 17-85mm IS USM with my cameras for several years - love it. I have not used this lens, but you can find the 17-85 used for several hundred dollars cheaper than the 17-40L and it is a more versatile lens.

From what I have found the DMC-ZS30 is the USA Version of the DMC-TZ40. I am considering this camera just haven't made my mind up yet. Thanks to those who posted about the language issues with the camera menus.

I just bought the 5100 Nikon and the 55-300 lens, but I shoot birds, wildlife type things so I am wanting to know which lens do I need to zoom in on birds, ect. I cannot get much of anything with the 55-300 , flowers, humans, ect...not a good buy for me but I will keep it a bit longer-

The 24-105 f/4L IS USM lens works great with the 7d, it's the lens I'm currently using as a 'walk around' lens on my own 7d. We also use that lens on my wife's 40D. Sometimes we argue over who gets to use that lens. Good choice!

for my 7D I went with the 10-22mm USM IS and the 24-105mmL and I think that covers the majority of my ranges (I also got the 70-300mm USM telephoto zoom so I think I'm pretty well covered from 10-300mm ;-)

I have been using both the EF70-300mm/4-5.6L IS USM and the EF400mm/5.6L USM lenses. I mostly do birding and other animal photography, as a hobby. The EF70-300mm/4-5.6L IS USM has more flexibility in ranges and the image stablization is deffinately a plus. The EF400/5.6L USM dosen't have the image stablization, but has the longer range and can be used with the 1.4x and 2x extenders, while the EF70-300mm/4-5.6L IS USM is not listed as compatible with either extender. I find both lenses produce good quality pictures. Usualy I use either a monopod or tripod. I have not used the 70-300 IS NON-L so I do not know how it compares with the others.

I not used the earlier model, but Olympus claims that the 75-300mm is an improved version. All of the review say the same. It is a good lens, especially considering the small size and weight. A couple of tips: avoid shooting at either widest or longest zoom (shoot at 80-275mm), shoot at f8 and use a tripod or monopod to steady the shot and it takes very good images.

Todd- I've talked to a few professional photographers and semi-professionals and they've all said the same thing...the XT is an excellent camera and the differences between the two are not worth the extra money. Buy the XT and invest in a good lens. Those with "is usm" have autofocus and image stabilization. By chance, have you ever ordered a camera through Amazon before? I'm wondering if it will contain the original USA Warranty. Thanks and Good Luck!

Thank you Very much for your Help, what do you think about the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II and the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM? If you had the money for only one general purpose lens, wich one will you chose?

As per Nikon - it is the 35mm equivalent of 22.5-675mm. I have found the zoom when fully extended - I am sorry but don't know the technical of that point - it is best to use a tripod. Even a small tripod works fine. I haven't had ANY trouble with any of the zoom features digital or otherwise for a point and shoot; actually am very impressed. Hope it helps.
